Resident Evil Rebel Creation – The Spencer Incident.
I do not own anything to do with the resident evil franchise, that is CAPCOM's.
Prologue.
"You ready for another mansion?"
Erika sighed, looking as if she were heading for somewhere boring and quiet.
"Alright but only this one time alright?"
Rebecca laughed along with Erika, both having no idea what was in store for them.
Chapter 1 – The Spencer Estate.
"Are we there yet?"
Erika was wondering several steps behind Rebecca, dragging her feet behind her looking bored.
"Erika, we'll be there soon."
Erika sighed but quickly recovered her professional and calculating stance when the sudden sound of shuffling feet came from somewhere in front of them.
"Rebecca stop."
Rebecca had already frozen in her tracks, drawing her STARS Berretta just as Erika drew her 87 Target, pointing it through the collection of trees which made up the Arklay mountains forest.
"Grrrr…"
A low pitched growl sounded from not only in front of them but also behind and to the right. Erika heard Rebecca mutter to herself under her breath.
"That's fucking great…"
The smell hit them before the sight did, the putrid smell of rotting flesh that clung to the very atmosphere. There were three of the Cerberuses which now had surrounded them. Erika could hear Rebecca's harsh intake of breath when she saw what was in the mouth of the Cerberus in front of them.
"Is that…"
Rebecca nodded going pale as she shook in terror and disbelief, inside the mouth of the mutated dog in front of them was an arm, its sleeve still attached revealing the once proud emblem of the STARS Alpha team. Rebecca changed from fear to anger as she fired; the sudden change surprising Erika, the shot blew through the upper cranium of the dog to the front, shattering the undead dog's skull, plastering its grey matter over the surrounding earth and trees. The other two dogs pounced at Rebecca who was to slow to retaliate, lucky for her Erika was at full strength, she fired two shots at the creatures before she had even had a good look in their direction. The first bullet ripping into the dog's chest, resulting in very little damage to the creatures overall strength, the second shot impacting just above the creature's neck, shattering the Cerberus's spinal cord, killing it instantly. The Cerberus to the right had already pounced whilst Erika was dealing with the second dog, this final Cerberus connected with Erika ripping at the flesh on her outstretched arm.
"You ugly son of a bitch!"
With her free hand Erika pulled out her knife and repeatedly stabbed at the creature's torso, the monstrosity refusing to let go of her arm.
"How nice of you to stay still…"
Rebecca put her gun barrel directly over the dog's head and fired, the dog feel to the floor, blood leaking out of its fresh bullet hole. Erika examined her arm looking mildly displeased before turning to Rebecca.
"Does this look infected to you?"
Rebecca couldn't help but laugh for several seconds before turning back and walking over to the first Cerberus, she bent over taking the gun that was still being clutched in the Alpha's rigamortised hand. Erika kept silent, out of respect for Rebecca's fallen comrade, after a couple of minutes Rebecca stood up holding the Alpha's handgun, Erika gave Rebecca a hug.
"Friend of yours?"
Rebecca nodded in agreement.
"More of a work colleague, he was a good man."
Erika let go of Rebecca, she watched as she quickly wiped her tears away, trying to hide them from Erika. With the adrenaline rush over the two continued onwards towards the mansion, painfully aware that they were in for another virus stricken mansion.
"Apparently we're in for another trip through hell."
Rebecca sounded slightly fearful, even though she was trying her hardest to sound confident; Erika patted Rebecca on the back.
"It's not as bad as the last mansion, with the leech queen dead; any surviving leeches would have eaten each other."
Rebecca nodded looking slightly more cheerful, until a sudden thought gripped at her mind.
"What if there are monsters even you don't know about?"
Erika's smile faltered for a second before she managed to change it into a cocky grin.
"We'll come to that later."
And with that the two went silent; barley talking until they came across a graveyard which laid behind a giant mansion, Rebecca spoke over her shoulder to Erika.
"I'm guessing this is the place."
Erika tapped Rebecca's shoulder and pointed at a specific grave.
"Look carefully."
Rebecca concentrated on where Erika was pointing, suddenly seeing what she had meant , the grave looked like it had been dug out from the inside and lying only feet away was a recently re killed zombie lying on its face.
"And over there."
Erika pointed again, this time at the back door to the mansion, where a zombie was mindlessly walking in circles trying to catch some imaginary pray. Rebecca looked disheartened.
"They couldn't have killed all of them could they…"
The two jumped over the graveyards iron fence, walking through the graveyard towards the back door. Erika pulled out her hand gun blowing the brains out of the circling zombie, very little emotion crossing her face as she did. Suddenly the two could hear several shots echo from within the mansion, Rebecca turned to look at Erika, happiness and fear covering her face.
"Someone's alive!"
Rebecca ran for the door, Erika close behind her. Rebecca started to pull the door open when Erika caught up slamming it shut, Rebecca looked at Erika, surprise now in control of her features, whilst on Erika's was anger.
"You! Are you stupid!"
Rebecca couldn't quite manage a full response.
"Wha… I… um…"
Rebecca couldn't find the words, but soon realised what she had done to piss Erika off. Erika still sounded furious as she continued to shout at Rebecca.
"You! Without thinking! Were just going to run in!"
Rebecca looked down at her feet as Erika's rant showed little sign of stopping.
"What if the room was full of monsters?"
By now Rebecca had figured that Erika's rage was born from her protective instinct over Rebecca.
"I'm sorry I wasn't thinking."
Erika pushed Rebecca behind her softly, indicating to Rebecca that her anger was dissipating.
"Stay behind me, got it?"
Rebecca agreed quietly, staying behind Erika.
"Ok…"
Rebecca sudden thought to change the conversation.
"Your arm, show it to me."
Erika smiled as she stretched her arm out towards Rebecca; her arm had healed several minutes ago, as she was sure Rebecca had already guessed. Rebecca gave her a quick look over.
"We need to get you some new cloths."
From the amount of damage that Erika had taken over all their previous encounters with these B.O.W's her cloths had been ripped to shreds, she had no left or right sleeves, only one of her trouser legs was the right length and her shirt had been ripped below her chest. Erika looked at her cloths her expression becoming softer, her anger now completely gone.
"I want something pretty and practical…"
Rebecca gave Erika a smile and a calculating look; she had only seen Erika as the usually tough tom boyish girl who didn't have these kinds of girly attachments. Rebecca hadn't thought of it before but could easily picture Erika in a stunning evening dress.
"A dress huh… I can see that."
Erika smiled as she prepared to burst through the mansion's back door.
"I've always liked purple."
And with that Erika stormed into what seemed to be the mansions main entrance room, which was empty, nothing and no one dead or alive within the room. Erika took several steps forward allowing Rebecca to close the door behind her.
"Not a soul…"
The second Rebecca said it she felt a cold shiver run though her body. Taking a more detailed examination of the room, they realised that it was very similar to the main entrance in the Marcus Estate, décor wise it was practically identical. Another two shots rang through echoing from somewhere nearby. Even with Erika's more powerful hearing all she could tell was which door the shots had come from but not the exact location.
"Rebecca! Bottom left door!"
The two ran down the stairs and leapt for the door, just stopping short at the last moment. Erika grabbed the handle before looking up at Rebecca.
"3…2…1…Go!"
The two stormed inside the room, guns drawn and outstretched in front of them, the room was empty.
"Shit."
Erika had felt that the sound had only echoed from this room, she had already expected that no one would actually be inside, but the reality still pissed her off. Rebecca seemed to be examining the room, it was very artistic, framed paintings covered the wall's and in the centre of the room was a large statue of a women holding a vase which someone had pushed a large box up to. Opposite the door they had come through was another two doorways one appearing to be just a small offshoot of their current room.
"Let's try that one first."
Erika nodded and moved forward crouching low so that Rebecca could fire over her, the corridor that they had entered had a bend which shortly ended in a dead end, the two took a quick glance over the stuff which was there but came up with nothing. They turned back and started retracing their steps to the statue room when Rebecca stopped Erika.
"Look here."
Rebecca was pointing at a mirror, which on closer inspection had what seemed to be a door handle, which they had missed on their first walk through. Rebecca opened the door a crack whilst Erika kept an eye out behind them.
"Erika you are going to love this."
